Ken Jeong is one of four panel judges on the American version of The Masked Singer. He is an Asian-American actor and comedian. He is also a panelist on The Masked Dancer.
However, in episode 5, he was replaced by Donny Osmond, aka Peacock.[2] He was also replaced in episode six by Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, aka Ladybug.
For the second series, Ken was replaced by British comedian Mo Gilligan due to travel restrictions placed in accordance with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ken also hosts the new Fox series I Can See Your Voice, which features Adrienne Bailon, aka Flamingo, as a regular panelist.
His catchphrase is "I know EXACTLY who this is!". He usually says this line when he thinks he is spot on about who the masked celebrity is.
To a lesser extent, he also says "Hear me out" "Stay with me" or "Let me finish" before or when he explains his reasoning behind his guesses.
Ken habitually refers to host Nick Cannon as "Daddy" as a running gag. In Season 5, he refers to guest host Niecy Nash as "Mommy".
In The Holiday Sing-a-Long, Ken performed “The Little Drummer Boy” by Pentatonix while wearing a toy soldier costume.
Out of all four seasons of The Masked Singer (US), Ken has only correctly guessed 7 of the 76 contestants: four of which were contestants of seasons 1, 2, 3, and 5, and the other three from Season 4 (USA).
Season 5 was the first season Ken got a First Impression guess right, correctly identifying Phoenix and Crab.
Ken is often reffered to as Ken Jeong Wrong because he has the least correct guesses out of any panel member on The Masked Singer (US).
